[Matthias Meulien]

Hi Lars,

Thanks for your time.

Steps to reproduce (I am now using GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 29, 
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5, cairo version 1.16.0) of 
2020-11-21), commit 789ee3e1d5 from master:  1. M-x find-file 
/usr/lib/python3.7/copy.py RET 

2. C-x C-w ~/test.py RET 

3. C-v C-v C-u 15 C-n <= scroll two pages and reach an blank line 
where 
  inserting a new class definition makes sense 

4. M-x python-skeleton-class 

6. C-M-S-v

7. C-M-S-v 

8. Test <= I wrote this in the minibuffer where I was prompted 
since 
  step 4 for a class name as required by python-skeleton-class 

7. Press RET  Now the diff of the resulting file is the following. 
As you can see it's not the expected result of 
python-skeleton-class.   --- /usr/lib/python3.7/copy.py	2020-07-25
